To divide and simplify -1/6 ÷ 2/9, we can use the rule of dividing fractions: multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2.
So, -1/6 ÷ 2/9 = -1/6 x 9/2.
Next, multiply the numerators together (-1 x 9 = -9) and the denominators together (6 x 2 = 12).
Therefore, -1/6 ÷ 2/9 simplifies to -9/12.

Apologies for the mistake.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, -1/6 ÷ 2/9 can be rewritten as (-1/6) * (9/2).
Next, multiply the numerators (-1 * 9 = -9) and the denominators (6 * 2 = 12).
Therefore, -1/6 ÷ 2/9 simplifies to -9/12.
However, we can further simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
So, -9/12 simplifies to -3/4.
